Steven L. Shafer, MD

Professional Interests: My professional interests are the clinical pharmacology of intravenous anesthetic drugs. This has led me to clinical studies of many of the intravenous opioids and hypnotics used in anesthetic practice. However, my passion is not the drugs themselves, but rather the mathematical models that characterize drug behavior. These include conventional pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic models, inverse models (used to drive target controlled infusion systems), Bayesian models (used to handle model uncertainty), pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic models of drug interaction, models of receptor function that help elucidate mechanisms of drug action, and models that relate drug response to "in silico" pharmacogenetics.Much of my work continues to involve the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of propofol and synthetic opioids (fentanyl, alfentanil, sufentanil, and remifentanil). My initial research for these drugs was sponsored by ICI/Astra Zeneca (propofol), Janssen (fentanyl, alfentanil, and sufenanil), and Glaxo (remifentanil). I have not had any consulting or funded research from those companies in more than 10 years.

Conflicts of Interest: My two ongoing consulting relationships are with Ethicon Endo-Surgical and Signature Therapeutics. My work for Ethicon Endo-Surgical involves chairing their "Anesthesia Advisory Panel" that has guided the development of the Sedasys sedation delivery system. My consulting has been provided to Ethicon Endo-Surgical pro bono since 2007. Signature Therapeutics is a biotechnology company I cofounded in 2003 to address unmet medical needs in anesthesia and pain management. I hold approximately a 5% equity interest in Signature Therapeutics.

Francois Donati, PhD, MD, FRCPC

Professional Interests: I started off as a biomedical engineer interested in modeling action potentials in axons.
As an anesthesiologist, my focus moved just a bit from axon to the neuromuscular junction.
I conducted research on most, if not all, new neuromuscular blocking agents since atracurium and vecuronium.
However, the most interesting aspect of my research was on blockade of different muscles of the body, pharmacokinetics
and monitoring neuromuscular blockade. Because measuring their effect is easy, neuromuscular blocking agents make beautiful
models for the study kinetics-dynamics interactions, with principles that can be applied to all areas of anesthetic pharmacology.

Languages: English, French

Conflicts of Interest: In recent years, I received funds to carry out my research and honoraria from Organon. I am also Associate Editor-in-Chief for the Canadian Journal of Anesthesia, where my duties include handling French-language manuscripts and being in charge of the Continuing Medical Education (CME) program.

Thomas J. Gal, MD

Professional Interests: Although I am getting closer to achieving Emeritus Professor status ('08), I am still quite active clinically. My activity consists of to some extent cardiac Anesthesia, to a large extent Thoracic, and also activities which John Tinker would ascribe to being a Regular Old Anesthesiologist (ROA). The latter venue allows a great deal of leeway in dealing with one area of interest, namely Airway management. Although no research is in progress, I still retain a fervent interest in respiratory physiology.

George M. Hall, MB, BS, PhD, DSc

Professional Interests: My main research interests are in the area of endocrine and metabolic problems associated with anesthesia. Somehow I have managed to build a career around investigating the stress response to surgery. I prefer working with non-clinicians and have enjoyed fruitful research collaborations with a variety of disciplines: agricultural physiology, veterinary anesthesia, basic endocrinology, exercise physiology and psychology. Although in the twilight of my career I am still passionate about research and intend to bother PubMed with Hall GM for the next five years.

Igor Kissin, MD, PhD

Professional Interests: My professional interests are the neurobehavioral pharmacology of anesthetics and analgesics. This has led us to studies of anesthetic interactions resulting in a concept that general anesthesia is based not on a single general anesthetic action but on a spectrum of separate pharmacological actions, even if the anesthesia is produced by one drug. This led to a conclusion that the search for a reliable index of anesthetic depth should be transformed into a search for separate indices of different components of anesthesia. Our studies of anesthetic interactions indicated that a neuraxial blockade can profoundly enhance the hypnotic effect of general anesthetics. We have also demonstrated that, in animal models, neural blockade with vanilloid agonists (resiniferatoxin) prevents incisional pain and do not affect non-painful sensation to touch or motor function.

Professional Interests: I am interested in (a) acute pain management which includes the use of (b) regional anesthesia and analgesia techniques as well as (c) the [clinical] use of necessary potent pharmacologic agents of the analgesic and local anesthetic sort. (d) I use daily rounds and hospital consultations as a model of specialty practice through which I hope to demonstrate to residents and fellows elements of the 6 core competencies. (e) I still do chronic pain work, thus I have responsibility for patient evaluation and treatment (mostly of the non-interventional sort, now). (f) I was trained long enough ago that I also still work in the operating room some!

Conflicts of Interest: I have no conflicts of interest.

Edward R. Sherwood, MD, PhD

Professional Interests: My research focus is on mechanisms of inflammatory injury during sepsis and the use of immunomodulatory approaches to improve antimicrobial immunity in the critically ill host. My major project in the area of sepsis and inflammation is aimed at determining the roles of natural killer cells and cytotoxic T cells in amplifying the pro-inflammatory response and mediating organ injury during sepsis. In the area of immunomodulation, investigators in my lab are using compounds such as the hemopoietic factor Flt-3 ligand and the modified bacterial component monophosphoryl lipid A to boost the host response to burn wound infection and pneumonia.

Oliver M. Theusinger, MD

Professional Interests: Dr. Theusinger's field of research includes emergency medicine, trauma and blood coagulation. Blood coagulation and monitoring by point of care devices in different areas (incl. preclinical setting, trauma as well as general surgery) by using roatational thromboeleastometry (ROTEM), platelet mapping assays etc. has actually been his main filed of interest. These technics have been integrated into different coagulation algorithms and are also part of Patient Blood Management programs to reduce the need of allogenic blood products.
